New Leadership Elected for Doña Ana County Commission

Christopher Schaljo-Hernandez has been reelected as chairperson of the Doña Ana County Board of County Commissioners, with Susana Chaparro stepping up as the new vice chair. The election, held on January 14th, came after a contested vote where Schaljo-Hernandez won the chairmanship by a narrow margin, supported by Chaparro and Commissioner Manuel Sanchez. Commissioner Shannon Reynolds was nominated for the chair role but lost 3-2, later abstaining from the vote for vice chair, which Chaparro won unchallenged. This leadership change, affecting the county which includes parts of Mesilla and Las Cruces among other communities, sets the stage for the board's operations through 2025.

Thousands of New Mexicans start their day with Daily Las Cruces

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“I'm a senior citizen here in Las Cruces, and this newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use Daily Las Cruces to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
